Run
Everyone knows Jason. Nobody really knows him.
Growing up in rural Kentucky in the 1990s, Jason isn't the kid sitting alone in the cafeteria. He has friends. People call his name in the hallway. Girls notice him. On the outside, he looks like he belongs.
But belonging has never felt that simple.
Walking into a classroom late can feel impossible. Being noticed feels worse than disappearing. And when someone else says come on, following is almost always easier than deciding for himself.
So Jason learns to run.
Sometimes he runs from school. Sometimes from disappointment. Sometimes toward older friends, late nights, beer, and the intoxicating feeling of finally having somewhere to be.
For a while, it works.
Until one night forces Jason to make a choice no one else can make for him.
RUN is a raw, deeply human coming-of-age novel about friendship, family, fear, and the quiet decisions that shape a life. Set against the back roads and small towns of 1990s Kentucky, it's a story about wanting desperately to belong while never quite believing you do.
Because sometimes the hardest thing isn't leaving.
It's staying.
